Discussion[edit]

Are there other bots doing this task presently? MBisanz ^talk 20:35, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but seems not relatively active. --Make cat 02:53, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask which one is it (and BFRA if available)? mabdul 06:18, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

None listed in Wikipedia:Bots/Status, but actually there are some: [1], e.g. User:AvicBot, User:BotMultichill and User:MGA73bot. However, I can't find a bot that is active on this task. --Make cat 07:13, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no other bots editing, I see no issue to give a 50 edit trial run.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 17:15, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. MBisanz ^talk 23:57, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Finished. It seems that year-related categories on other wikipedias have some inaccurate {{commonscat}} templates, so I will review my bot's edits after a cycle of run finished. --Make cat 02:53, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have you performed the trial yet?—cyberpower ^Chat_Offline 20:05, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- here --Make cat 02:09, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Then it always helps to mark it with Trial complete.. Otherwise BAG won't know.—cyberpower ^Chat_Offline 04:14, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. Sample looks fine. MBisanz ^talk 18:45, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
